Bush to give major speech

2 hours, 37 minutes ago

World - AFP

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Concerned by a loss of momentum after his debate with John Kerry (news - web sites), US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) has abruptly scheduled a major speech for Wednesday in hopes of halting the erosion of his lead in the polls.

In a rare, last-minute change in the presidential schedule, Bush has scrapped a planned talk on medical liability and instead will give what the White House called a "significant speech" about the two central issues of the campaign -- the war on terrorism and the economy, The Washington Times reported Tuesday.

The president is said to be eager to rebut Kerry's attacks on such issues, especially those that came during last Thursday's presidential debate, according to The Times.

"There has been an attempt by the president's opponent to launch false attacks and mislead the American people on these big priorities," the paper quotes White House press secretary Scott McClellan as saying. "There are some big differences facing the American people, and the president wants to highlight those differences."
